Jodhpur – The city of mosaic colors, people, traditions and many more. On one hand it is famous for its magnificent palaces, forts and temples and on other hand it is a place where one finds surreal silence and warmth set in the landscape of great Thar Desert. The city is known as the "Sun City" for the bright, sunny weather it enjoys all the year round. It is also referred to as the "Blue City" due to the vivid blue-painted houses around the Mehrangarh Fort.

It is the second largest city in the Indian state of Rajasthan with a population of over 14 lakhs as per the latest census. It was formerly the seat of a princely state of the same name, the capital of the kingdom known as Marwar.

Other than that, Jodhpur itself has set out new standards of being a metropolitan city with its increasing educational institutes of national and international repute and flourishing businesses like handicraft, guar etc. It has become the most sought after city in the Western Rajasthan specifically after the discovery of Oil and Gas in the region. All these developments in past few years have made Jodhpur a development hub where many policies and schemes have been directed towards its further development and expansion.
